TrOW bIe I'm The WhecImen,s League.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The League of American Wheelmen has been in session at the Grand Union Hotel since yesterday. Tonight Abbott Bassett was elected secre- tary--S5 votes to 51 for John A. Wells. Mir. Bassett is editor of the Cycle. Wells was the candidate of E. M Aaron, editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin, who resigned the po- sition few weeks ago. Aaron refuses now, it is said, to turn the office to Bassstt and claims that there were irregularities in the election The Star tomorrow will say that shortage of $500 existed in Aaron's accounts, but he was allowed time in which to make the amount good. Many of the league officials believe Aaron's story that he was temporarily insane from overwork when the deficit occurred. Others disbelieve it and are inclined to make trouble for him..

To preserve the large plums that have
tough skins it is necessary first of all to
remove the skins. This may be done very
easily By dropping few OF the plums at q
time into hot water, then with a very sharp
knife removing the skins. Cut the plums
in halves; drop them into a syrup made
Of sugar and water. The plums should be
weighed, and an equal quantity OF sugar
should be set aside for the syrup. Lei
them cook 80 gently that they will keer
their shape. Take them from the syruI
with skinner put them into the cans
and pour the syrup over them, having first
removed the scum from it.

BARRIKGToN, N. S.-September ia
wonderful phenomenon occurred here
Thursday night about o'clck.
A luminous body looking as
large as an elephant, with q long tail
attached, suddenly appeared in the south
eastern sky and shot out of sight in
soutberly direction. The night was cloud
less and without a moon, but the stars
went out ard a strange soft blue and white
light lit up the whole 6rmsmeDt as bright
as dav. The light was only five or six
seconds in duration when all became sud-
denly dark again. To person at The s)uth
end 1t appeared like fearful explosion in
the vicinity of the north-eas arm, in
which direction the light was the brightest,
but the Ioise supposed to accompany most
explosions was absent.
A reporter was crossing the north end
common, when he was startled by a sud-
den burst OF fire lighting up. the whole
neighborhood. The meteor descended like
q shot out of the misty air. 1t looked like
a large electric light, and a long tail of
sparks treiled behind. The whole pre-
sented beautiful spectacle. To the re-
porter the fiery visitor seemed to strike the
ground short distance away. AfterTari

The noise which was terrifying, lasted

most vivid illumination OF the whole city.
There was sudden and almost dazzling

vented the prosecution of any search, as
the appearance was not followed by any
unusual phenomenon. The meteor was al
so seen at Lockport, Shelburne, Yarmouth,
Amherst and other towns in different parts
OF the province. A Bridgewster dispatch
says that when first seen there it appeared
TO be large falling star, bat before 1t
reached the earth ii burst into small stars
of exceeding brilliancy, which illuminated
tie heavens in a truly grand style. A hiss

minute after its disappearance by a sound
resembling that of distant thunder.

Raising Hops,
Chicago Times.

Whenever the price of grsip, wool aud
meat becomes low, many farmers In various
parts of the country consider the proprie:y
of engaging in some new branch of bust
ness. AS hops are high, on account of
general failure of the crop in parts of the
world where there culture receives much
attention, there is disposition to engage
in Ihtir cultivation. Hop raising has Ger.
tainly been very profitable at different
times and in favored locations in this
country during the past thirty years. Such
was the case in Michigan and Wisconsin
some twenty years ago. The production of
beer and ether malt liquors increased much
faster than the production OF hops, aud the
demand for them could not be met by those
raised In this country. Michigan and Wis
consin were well situated for engaging in
hop production. The virgin soil was rich
and very productive, while the climate was
excellent. Material for poles was so
abundant that they could be obtained
at a nominal price in the immsdi-
ate vicinity OF where they were
wanted. In many places civilized
IDdisns, 2 who took kindly to hop
picking, could be hired at low prices to as
sist in harvesting them. In both of these
states lumb for constructing drying
houses was cheap, as was fuel that is neces-
sary for the progress of curing. Toe
establishment of large breweries at Mllwau-
kee, Detroit, and Chicago created excellent
markets that were never at hand. The
vines, planted in soil that had produced
but few crops of any kind, made a vigor-
Gus growth, and were very productive. As
in the case of fruit trees planted In por-
ton of the county that is newly settled there
was for several years but little trouble with
insects.
From time TO time attempts have bean
made to introd uce hop culture into various
parts of the country, but they have generally
been attended by failure. The hop plant
requires peculiar climatic conditions not
found in most portions of this country. 1t
needs considerable and constant moistur
and lacks the ability to Withstand q pro-
tracted drought. Observation and expert
ment show that hops have not generally
succeeded, except il the most northern
states and territories The hop field lies
Immediately south of the Canadian bound
cry and the great lakes. Violent, dry aud
hot winds blow down hop poles and injure
the vines. A hop crop is unsuited 10 a re-
gion subject to tornadoes or droughts. A
well-tim sered country is favorable to hops,
as trees break the force of winds while they
furnish material for poles, curing houses,
| baskets, and fuel.

Hen Talk for the Youngsters.
September Wide Awake,


As an example of bird Language, the
ordinary domestic fowl presents the most
interesting and perfect range, 90 common

vocal possibilities OF the hen if they will

the answering shouts of college Buys or
men, that are inexplicable on other
grounds than a challenge OF merits.
Observing closely our rooster, accom-
